This phrase is commonly used in Spanish-speaking countries to depict a person who shows up uninvited, especially to parties or events where food and drinks are available for free. The term 'paracaidista' literally translates to 'paratrooper', indicating someone who drops in unexpectedly.
Examples
- Spanish: Invitamos a diez personas a la fiesta, pero llegaron veinte. Siempre hay algún paracaidista.
- English: We invited ten people to the party, but twenty showed up. There's always some gatecrasher.
